Re: [courier-users] Avoiding local messages delivery to maildrop

Put this in your maildroprc or .mailfilter file:

to "/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME"

This will tell maildrop where to deliver the message. LOGNAME will be
replaced by the username of the recipient. If you do not want this to
happen with all users, you will need to either put this only in the
..mailfilter files of the users it applies to, or put some extra logic in
maildroprc so that it only does the delivery for the right users.

More information in the man page...

man maildropfilter
